“Our ongoing focus on cost containment and services margin improvement were again evident this quarter, and we believe we can expand Non-GAAP operating margins for the full year to the mid to high teens as a percentage of revenue,” said Chaim Friedman, chief financial officer of STARLIMS. “Given the strength of our first half 2009 financial results, we have increased confidence that for the full year we can achieve ongoing growth.”
To supplement the consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, STARLIMS uses non-GAAP measures of gross margin, net income and earnings per share, which are adjustments from results based on GAAP to exclude non recurring expenses, non-cash equity based compensation in accordance with SFAS 123(R) and amortization of intangibles related to acquisitions. Our management believes that the non-GAAP financial information provided in this release can assist investors in understanding and assessing the Company’s on-going core operations and prospects for the future. The presentation of this non-GAAP financial information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for results prepared in accordance with GAAP. Our management also uses both GAAP and non-GAAP information in evaluating and operating business internally and as such deemed it important to provide all this information to investors. Reconciliation between GAAP to non-GAAP statement of income is provided in the table below.
